18.4
mano 'tra buddhir ity abhipretam, budhyate 'neneti buddhiḥ/ so 'yam ārambhaḥ śarīreṇa vācā manasā ca puṇyaḥ pāpaś ca daśavidhaḥ/ tad etat kṛtabhāṣyaṃ dvitīyasūtra iti//17//
Here 'mind' is intended by 'buddhi', since one understands (budhyate) by means of it, hence 'buddhi'. This initiation through body, speech, and mind is meritorious and demeritorious, of ten kinds. This has already been commented upon under the second sūtra. //17
